Hi, I'm just entered in the fanatec word.
Just had a dd pro with gt3 wheel.

I'm on PS5

I'm looking for material to understad how to configure it. Fanatec manuals seem to be very basic

Thanks
So 3 key things for GT7
  • setup of the wheel using tuning menu
  • Game setting for torque and sensitivity
  • wheel button mapping

Tuning menu on the wheel sets the various parameters - there is simple and advanced mode - hold tuning button for 5 secs to get advanced. But the A_S auto setup works w GT7 so try that - then you can try tweaking the setups - many posts here on that

Game settings under controller torque goes to 10 so that’s overall strength, sensitivity is related to the wheel type and response - for direct drive 1 is recommended but try it higher - it makes the steering very tightly coupled

In game under options/ controller select the dd Pro - the wheel picture will only show the default bundled wheel, not whatever wheel you might have. So look at the wheel docs and find the button mapping section which shows how the PS buttons are mapped to the GT3 wheel

then in GT7 match the button on screen to what you want on wheel and use the pull down to set function - Square wheel to square on the screen image, for all buttons and function. There is a section for pedal calibration to set max/min/dead zone

Some buttons may not map on some wheels - only the ones common to PS and a few others

Start w that, you may have to update FW to recognize the Gt3 wheel - a whole other learning experience - but if it works as is drive it for a while
 
I own a GT3 wheel (McLaren GT3 V2) and an F1 wheel (Formula V2.5), and I'm looking for a round wheel. Which one from Fanatec would you recommend? I currently play exclusively on PS5, playing GT7, Rennsport, PMR, and ACC.

CSL Elite WRC is good and cheap.
 
I run the Porsche GT3 suede rim with the advanced paddle and button module. It’s pricy, but offers good leverage for higher torque values and feels like an actual steering wheel, because it is.

Do you guys think that hub conveys ffb better than:


Or is it more about button config preference?
(I have my own ideas, but wonder what you guys think)
